A follow-up to my post about the risk of the Banksy Rat being destroyed, while it's long been gone from the building, they've actually removed it and auctioned it off. Although not mentioned in that article, I think the proceeds are being donated to charity. Which is some small comfort I guess. The comments from the people selling it off are rather telling though. For all the claims about "landmark" developments, it seems that once your property is at risk of being recognised as an actual landmark, that's a "liability" for the developers.

Product-driven versus customer-driven. I think this explains a lot of why I struggle with lean startups and lots of the find-people-with-pain approaches. Not that it guarantees I'm not on a hiding to nothing still.
